"Hands Across the Sand is an international movement made up of people from all walks of life and crosses political affiliations. This movement is NOT about politics; it is about protection of our coastal economies, lakes, seas, oceans, marine wildlife, and fishing industries. Let us share our knowledge, energies and passion for protecting all of the above from the devastating effects of off-shore oil drilling."

Say NO to off-shore oil drilling and YES to clean energy. Please join us in organizing a peaceful event at your local beach or park on Saturday, June 26th beginning at 11:00 a.m. in your local time zone.

After nearly two years of dabbling in stock photography, I finally feel like I've made it through the learning curve as a contributor. My acceptances and sales are picking up and I decided to work exclusively with Dreamstime.

The reason for my decision to become exclusive has to do with the attitude displayed by the people who administer this site. Dreamstime is so user friendly compared to the other stock photo agencies out there. However, the biggest thing is the professional, straightforward manner in which photos are reviewed and rejected on DT. I learned so much from the rejection process here and I was able to make the proper corrections and sharpen my skills. I must say that I was really turned off by the way other stock companies treat contributors. I didn't appreciate...

Agreed 100 per cent. I am a newbie and DT helps me to improve my work. Other websites just reject my files with no explanations. Thanks DT for the excellent job and for their patience to explains the errors. Really a good attitude!! And thanks Gale for saying what I had in mind with better English that I can write

I am not exclusive. Not yet. But I can understand why you feel exclusivity is beneficial. Certainly, your workflow will be easier as you only need to concentrate on one site. The time saved in not having to submit to other sites can be applied to making more pictures for Dreamstime. I am sure you're happy.
